To eff 1121mm, z t 771/35,! evneern: l B1: it known that We, Geese. Lore end CLARENCE C. SIBLEY citizens of ti 1 States, residing, respective a 111 or v, borough. oi Broelrlyn. in: n l erth .Afilbfij iflldaifisfiii eo have invented 0&16815 new. ml. us pmvements in LVN-28335 for Suppertm melee and. the Like, olivine-l1 the lollen espeeilieafmon.

The lnvention has lor its eb eer simple and. 'eiiieie ineeris for al dm 'iees upon 01" in eemieenien Willi] so" for electric eeml store; e in. 1, comprises :1 free or the ever :1 receoteele, esp, rosette, or .1 e to be etteelied to swell, eeiling, or oil port, the frsree 'lieving member psi 7 along the sidesef the receptacle to ageles the support. 1

The invention elso comprises the novel le tails of improvement thee will be more "fully hereinafter set iertli and then out in the claims.

Reference is to be had to the seesmpim lug drawings, fern'iing pert hereof, wherein- Figure 1 is e persepelive view of e recepteele and eonduiu, showing the improved means for holding the same against s supperl. Fig. 2 is a perspectiveview of the holdingframe. Fig. 3 is a side vieiagpsrtly in section, of the device shown in Fig. 1 and Fig. an

inverted planvi'ew of the lieviee iilustrewi 1e.

ii the accompanying drswie in Wlii. similar numerals of reference mm :02 spending parts in the severe! 2*. ms, the Ineral 1 indicates e reee )teele, ii-p or equivelent device or llitting mlepteii to be mounted upon or used with a, conduit .2 for LlCtiTi' wires. In 'the drawings the receptacle or cap 1 is shevm revided Wit-l1 a gain or recess 1, opening through the under side and the ends to receive the x-onrluir. L, whereby the recepteele or cap 1 is moenied ever said 0021- duit, and the conduit shown is of the (less having one side open and provided with a cover 3,1'eeeived in grooved purl-ions 2 of the conduit.

At -1- is a. base Within theoep 1 over the eenciuit ZB, which base may be provided with suitel) electrical fittings, contacts, &e.-, 5 6 in wel ne'mi manner.

The parts 1, '5, and 6 represent; recepmole of any general or eppreved form or eenstruction to lie useel in SODliECidlOD with con rluits, earl the parts l and i may be of insu- Eating material, such as porcelain.

At 7 is a frame or band provided with ere tensions adapted to it over and bear upon esp l, the extensions T passing along the sides of the cap, and sai extensions are provided with eutturiieri lugs er the like Z", provideil wish apertures 7" t0 receive screws or the like for firmly helriirig lfn'e frame againsteeiling, wall, or other suppers. The frame 1 or its tubule: or hollow pertien 7 me have an issuer Henge 7",cl1et slines with the ollow extension 1 of the esp l he beer thereon, or the under part of frame 1 may beer upon the cap 1, as st In essemliilng fiche aris the base and cap are pissed upon er over the conduit and the f :12 is placed over the rep, so that the lugs 7? w. hear alga-melt a ceiling, wall, er support,

and then said lugs are secures-or nailed to the suppers, end tliere'ey the frame not only serves in holding the reoeitziele upon the ceiiclei'l, but. assists in llOl ing the conduit against the sup mrt. By making the frame 7 in substantiel tubular form to fit over:

the tubular extensions 1* of the receptacle or esp l the "frame will keep the cap from move ment along the conduit.

While the iniprevemeels are illustrated in 'vmeerion with e reveptncic having a cap (1 lmse, ii: will be umlerstoed that the incien applicable well to rosettes, out-- lei er junelien boxes, and enalegous elecrival devices to be iitleil upon or Connected will; (*ozmuils for electric minim-tors for making bi'nneli connections and similar pur poses.

Y lawing new described our invention, whet We claim is l. in a device of the chum-etc! described the combination 01 e esp, and e lm-se having electrical fittings witnin ilhC cap, with a frame fitting upon the cap and provided with means for attachment to a support independent ofa conduit to hold the cap in pla e.

2. In. a device of the character described, the combination of a conduit with a cap fitting thereover, and a frame fitting over the cap and provided with means for attachment to a support independent of a conduit for holding; the cap upon the eondui t.

3. A device of the character described comprising a receptacle having a base and a cap the base having electrical fittings within the ca and a fraine'nttim over the on and support.
